Description Eric Roman 2013-08-22 18:20:57 UTC 
The IDL for SubtleCrypto.derive() lists a nullable parameter "derivedKeyType". 

However this parameter is not spoken about anywhere in the spec.
Comment 1 Mark Watson 2014-02-20 21:32:32 UTC 
With the latest updates, it is normalized and passed to the derive key operation. It's used as the type of the key that you expect to get out of the deriveKey operation.
